2011-07-04 Diamondbacks at Brewers -- [Brewers give away 6-1 leads on consecutive days, lose 8-6]

[bucksman4]

the vent thread needs to be brought back

 

Roenicke makes me long for Ned Yost and Grandpa Ken

 

hopefully Doug remembers what he did to Yost a week before the season was over

 

 

But the players love RR...

[DuWayne Steurer]

Keep hitting Loe. I hope he gives up five earned this inning. Anything to convince Roenicke he isn't good and can't face lefties.

Sadly, I was thinking the same thing.

 

Unfortunately, if RR has not figured it out after 90 games, I don't suspect he will.

 

I literally want to break the swear filter here right now.

 

I've been 'mad' at this team before, but never so much as I am at both RR and Loe right now. This is so far beyond ridiculous, words can't even describe.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Braddock against lefty, Saito, even Axford? RR is just awful. This is all on him.

 

Still could have lucked out if Luc didn't short arm the throw. Then get lucky on the play at third. Weird.

[RockCoCougars]

Everyone complains about Kotsay, Yuni, Nieves, etc., but Loe has done more damage this season than all of them combined. And yes, Roenicke is Yost-esque in his handling of the bullpen. This team needs to acquire an established set-up guy in the worst way, preferably one who has closer experience.

[GamelToe]

hey lookie... RR made the move he should've made before the inning started. Gomez in CF and ANYBODY BUT LOE on the mound.

[trwi7]

Was that 4 lefties in a row, with Braddock sitting on the pine?

 

Yes.

Yes.

Yuni is debatable. Yuni has had so many plays he SHOULD HAVE made that causes a big inning.

[Menotti80]

Oh god not Xavier Nady

[Rhett16]

Roenicke is an absolute idiot.

[TheCrew07]

Was that 4 lefties in a row, with Braddock sitting on the pine?

Yea, I'm not sure I go to Braddock, his velocity was down to 90-91 again last outing. However, at some point you'd think the coaching staff would wake up and realize that Loe is essentially a ROOGY.

[bucksman4]

Second day in a row a 5 run lead is blown. Nice bullpen, Milwaukee.

[markedman5]

Axford needs a little company in the pen. His excellence really sticks out like a sore thumb ..................

[justwinbb]

Loe is gonna ruin this season all by himself with RR's blessing. Its time both of these useless idiots get shown the door. This team is going nowhere with RR at the helm. He has his favorites and thats the way it is. In the meantime us fans get too watch meltdown after meltdown.

[Oldcity]

They just added that exact player a couple days ago and RRR chose not to use him.

[Mr QL]

Loe is a gamer, he battled out there, he pitched well

[brewmann04]

this is so madding to see RR continue to bring in this guy because he is the 8th Inning man.Someone better call down to RR and tell him he must stop using this Guy.

Why is RR not using a Lefty in these situations instead of LOE.

Hawkins and Saito???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Hello Ron

[theavrock]

Hardicourt or Mcalvy needs to light up RRR after this game.

[mtrebs]

Hopefully this 6-1 lead in the 4th will hold up...not like yesterday.

Nope...somehow this isn't too surprising.

[bucksman4]

As per usual expect RR's usual "Kam had a tough day but I still like him as my 8th inning guy."

[Funketown]

Was that 4 lefties in a row, with Braddock sitting on the pine?

Yeah. I thought Montero was a switch hitter, but he is a lefty.

 

With a competent manager, guys like Loe and Braddock are really useful.

 

Loe has faced 86 lefties this season and 87 righties.

Which means that league has a clear book on Loe with him facing 1/2 LHers. Maybe someone should slip Roenicke a copy?

Hardicourt or Mcalvy needs to light up RRR after this game.

Problem is, I don't believe they will. This crap would not be allowed to continue by fans or media in a Boston, Chicago, New York market. This is part of the problem with being in the "nice Midwest". Colin Cowherd actually had a great segment talking about this a few weeks back and how the big market and East Coast teams are better because more is demanded of them by fans and media.

 

Now, granted the payroll and potential to make moves is easier there too, but it still doesn't excuse our media and fans from calling out a manager for terrible decision making.

He wouldn't read it.

 

Kam is his guy. Through thick and thin. Same as McGehee and Kotsay.
